  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🪳🤿 Scientists in #Singapore and #Japan built flexible #3D printed #diving suits that deliver #oxygen to #cockroaches through their breathing pores.

    A #chemical reaction between #hydrogen peroxide and manganese dioxide generates the oxygen, allowing the #insects to walk #underwater for up to three hours. The team envisions using these #cyborg cockroaches for search and rescue in flooded #disaster zones and eventually on #Mars.
